| 75 | |||
| 76 | **Collaboratory.IAM** | ||
| 77 | |||
| 78 | * Users were occasionally getting warnings they could not access a particular client with no information on the client they could not access. This has been resolved. | ||
| 79 | |||
| 80 | === **Collaboratory Wiki update (2023-01-27) (Released)** === | ||
| 81 | |||
| 82 | **Collaboratory.Wiki** | ||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | * The Wiki service will be updated. Recent changes to the service have disabled the listing of OIDC service accounts which are granted access to collabs. This update is fixing this issue. | ||
| 85 | |||
| 86 | === **Collaboratory release (2023-01-24) (Released)** === | ||
| 87 | |||
| 88 | **Collaboratory.Wiki** | ||
| 89 | |||
| 90 | * The collab deletion process has been updated. | ||

| 92 | ** Users are now informed when a collab is deleted. | ||
| 93 | * More collab context is being added to the Lab if you access the Lab via a collab iframe.

(This part of the release was delayed) | ||
| 94 | * On smaller screens, the login button and the kebab menu now appear at the top of the page as on larger screens. | ||
| 95 | |||
| 96 | **Collaboratory.IAM** | ||
| 97 | |||
| 98 | * Verification emails are already sent out 2 weeks before a user has to revalidate their email address. The content of that email is being updated. | ||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | === **Collaboratory 2 release (2022-12-30) (Released)** === | ||
| 101 | |||
| 102 | We are deactivating the search feature in the Wiki service for users that are not authenticated for security reasons. No downtime is expected. | ||
| 103 | |||
| 104 | === **Collaboratory 2 release (2022-12-20) (Released)** === | ||
| 105 | |||
| 106 | We are deploying a fix to the Wiki service to reduce the amount of information the Collaboratory Wiki stores and displays about EBRAINS users. | ||
| 107 | |||
| 108 | * Wiki content edited by a user will appear as edited by that user's first name and first initial of last name. EBRAINS users that are logged in can click on the name to view the user's profile with full name. | ||
| 109 | * The user's email address is removed from the user's profile in the Wiki service. It remains visible in PLUS for users that have created/validated their PLUS profile. | ||
| 110 | |||
| 111 | After the first few minutes, the Wiki service will likely be accessible as we remove metadata from the service, but we may need to bring down the service if we encounter issues. Avoid editing content during the maintenance until the end of maintenance is notified in a banner or here. | ||
| 112 | |||
| 113 | We've extended the estimated maintenance time to 45 minutes as the backup procedure took longer than expected. | ||
| 114 | |||
| 115 | The maintenance is finished. | ||
| 116 | |||
| 117 | === **Collaboratory 2 release (2022-12-13) (Released)** === | ||
| 118 | |||
| 119 | This release contains fixes for minor issues discovered in the OIDC client manager app and Lab environment variables. | ||
| 120 | |||
| 121 | The new OIDC Client manager app can be found at the following URL: [[https:~~/~~/wiki.ebrains.eu/bin/view/OIDC/>>https://wiki.ebrains.eu/bin/view/OIDC/]]. Please note you can only access this if you are a member of the [[Service developers group>>https://wiki.ebrains.eu/bin/view/Identity/#/groups/app-collaboratory-iam--service-providers]]. | ||
| 122 | |||
| 123 | === **Collaboratory 2 release (2022-12-07) (Released)** === | ||
| 124 | |||
| 125 | **Collaboratory.Lab ** | ||
| 126 | |||
| 127 | * Dynamic environment variables | ||
| 128 | ** Notebook name, collab name and site hosting your Lab session will now always be available in a notebook, regardless of how you navigate to a notebook. | ||
| 129 | ** COLLAB_NAME has been renamed to COLLAB_TITLE to reflect its value. | ||
| 130 | * The Virtual Brain Library extension has been updated. | ||
| 131 | |||
| 132 | **Collaboratory.Wiki** | ||
| 133 | |||
| 134 | * The new [[OIDC client>>doc:Collabs.pauls-test-collab.Documentation IAM.FAQ.OIDC Clients explained.WebHome]] manager app is deployed to production ([[Found here>>https://wiki.ebrains.eu/bin/view/OIDC/]]). This app is for EBRAINS service developers and provides a UI where previously only an API was available. Its functionality includes: | ||
| 135 | ** Create new OIDC clients via the new UI | ||
| 136 | ** Find a full list of your existing OIDC clients | ||
| 137 | ** Easily edit and update any OIDC clients you have | ||
| 138 | ** NOTE: The client list does not show clients that you are a maintainer of, however, you can access the OIDC Client manager of a client by entering the clientId into the URL | ||
| 139 | * Add the possibility for OIDC client maintainers to add the service account related to the OIDC client to a [[collab's Team>>doc:Collabs.the-collaboratory.Documentation IAM.FAQ.Adding a service account to a Collab Team or a Group.WebHome]] | ||
| 140 | * Certain special characters were causing issues when put into a collab name, you can no longer use these special characters in a name. | ||
| 141 | * New field "has_bucket" was added to the API response describing collab. This allows users to quickly and easily see if a collab has a Bucket associated with it as a bucket is optional in a collab. | ||
| 142 | * When using the collab search page, you can now include filters in the URL. E.g [[https:~~/~~/wiki.ebrains.eu/bin/view/Collabs/#favorite=true>>https://wiki.ebrains.eu/bin/view/Collabs/#favorite=true]] will have the favourite filter selected by default when visiting the link | ||
| 143 | |||
| 144 | **Collaboratory.IAM** | ||
| 145 | |||
| 146 | * Verification emails are now sent out 15 days before your account needs re-verification. This means you can verify your account before it expires, preventing any potential interruption to access. | ||
| 147 | |||

This applies both to users opening the Lab from the Wiki navigation or from a link to a specific notebook. | ||
| 390 | * Notebooks can be exported to various views from the File > Export Notebook as menu. Some of those export options were no longer working and have been removed. | ||

| 636 | === Collaboratory 1 maintenance **(Released)** === | ||
| 637 | |||
| 638 | Collaboratory 1 services will be down from 18:00 CET [[(my timezone)>>url:https://everytimezone.com/s/4a9daa55]] Thursday Jan 7 for maintenance. The services are being re-hosted from the EPFL/BBP infrastructure to the Fenix infrastructure. The OIDC authentication service will be reactivated first (within 30 minutes); all other services will follow in the evening. Once the Collaboratory 1 services are back online, you may find that files added to the storage within the last days do not initially appear. This will be remedied overnight as we synchronize the storage. Thank you for your patience and understanding. | ||
| 639 | |||
| 640 | As a reminder the Collaboratory 1 services are deprecated and will be shut down in September 2021. | ||
| 641 | |||
| 642 | If you encounter issues with Collaboratory 1 after Friday 12:00 CET, please contact [[https:~~/~~/ebrains.eu/support>>url:https://ebrains.eu/support]] | ||
| 643 | |||
| 644 | The re-hosting was completed on Thursday evening. Some services relying on the Collaboratory 1 may need to be restarted to take into account the new DNS entries. Please notify [[support>>url:https://ebrains.eu/support]] of any issues you identify. |
